How to Download Internet Stuff? (File-Hosting Sites)

Internet Stuff include Movies, Videos, Games, Softwares, etc...
The following are the ways I know of on how to download:-

From File-Hosting sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, Mediafire,etc:-  

You can get their links from forums like amaderforum, lazydesis,etc. Take these links ---> paste them in the address bar of a browser & enter.


Mostly, these file-hosting sites have two types of users:- 

   1.Free users

   2.Premium users

If you are a free user, you have to wait for certain duration to get the download link. They also impose restrictions on the public IP you are using like 3 free downloads per hour per IP. Most of these sites provides good service to premium customers [U have to pay to become their premium customer] and free customers have very limited downloads and service.

Following picture is an example from Megaupload:-(click on the Image to read clearly)

If you want a premium account without paying money, some of these file-hosting sites provide you with an alternative.

1. Create a free account in their site
2. Upload a file in that account.After the upload, they provide you with a link for that file
3. Now post this link like everybody else in the forums I mentioned above
4. You will get points as the other people start downloading the file from that link. From these points you can get a premium account. But some sites provide you with money instead of a premium account.
5. For more info, Open any file-hosting site and check the FAQ section. All your queries will be explained.

There are many techniques available in internet to download from these file-hosting sites without a premium account. You can (Google or Bing or Yahoo) them. Some of these techniques are difficult to access and some are difficult to understand.

I know of an add-on for Mozilla Firefox. It's called SkipScreen.

SkipScreen is a free Firefox add-on that skips the clicking and waiting on sites like RapidShare, Megaupload, zShare, and more! http://skipscreen.com/

Add this add-on to your Firefox browser. It automatically downloads the file after the wait-time is completed.

There are some sites which use a script called Rapid Leech. Again You can (Google or Bing or Yahoo ..etc) it.You can definitely find some sites.

The famous Rapidleech script transfers files from Rapidshare, Megaupload, Depositfiles.com, Easy-share.com, etc, via your fast servers connection speed and dumps the file on a server. You may then download these files from that server. 

Rapid leech script has being used by more than 5 million users worldwide and has being installed on more than 2000 servers.

Some servers use premium accounts to download the stuff you asked them to. But they just want you to click some adds before you download from them. These sites are resume capable and support download accelerators.

Note:-

1. Mediafire is exceptionally good. As it provides better service to free users compared to other sites as far as I know.
2. Uploading copyrighted material into these file-hosting sites or into the net is illegal. But downloading them is not. So beware of it.

Direct Download links provided by the sites:-

There are many sites which provide freeware and shareware. You can download this stuff by the direct download links provided by these sites. Most of these downloads are resume capable and have download accelerator support.

Best Download Accelerator:- IDM (Internet Download Manager). I personally use this & I believe that it is the best. Am I wrong?

In the next post, I will explain about the torrents...
